A Hundred Years of The Finnish National Ballet

A Special 2 euro coin to commemorate the Finnish National Ballet

The essence and power of dance also play the main role in the topic pictured on the Special 2 euro coin of 2022, named ”Kukoistus” (Splendour). Rosita Kivinen, the designer of the coin, has approached the topic with a feel that is simultaneously contemporary, dynamic and bold.

• A Hundred Years of The Finnish National Ballet

The National Ballet of Finland will celebrate its centennial in 2022. Swan Lake, premiered in January 1922, was the first ballet performed in Finland, and thus a remarkable event in the cultural life of Finland. By the time it premiered in Helsinki in 1922, it had only ever been performed by Russian and Czech ballet groups. Even the president K. J. Ståhlberg was seen in the presidential box with his wife.

Over the past hundred years, the Finnish National Ballet has grown from a small semi-professional group to a full-scale professional ballet, capable of presenting major classical ballets in their entirety.
